Tevez 'completely at ease' at City

Tevez, who has regularly spoken of his dissatisfaction with life in England, handed in a transfer request in December as he said his relationship with certain individuals at the club had broken beyond repair.

However, he has since committed his future to the club and, while there is still speculation over his long-term future, Tevez says he is now "completely at ease" at Eastlands.

"I never walked out of the club or wanted to do any harm to the club, not for anything in the world," he told the club's official website. "I do not think there is anyone who loves the shirt more than me.

"I show that in every game I play. I give everything I have got. I do not speak very often to the press. I just have it in my head, I do my talking out there on the field, which is the most important thing.

"People might want to have a pop at me but I am completely at ease here. I want to do my best for the City shirt."

He added: "It is a period in my career where I have begun to enjoy things more. I am happy and very relaxed as a result of the football I am producing.

"We are right in there battling it out for a Champions League place. That is what the team is aiming for and where the team ought to be."
